Dissertation
William Henry Drayton: South Carolina Revolutionary patriot
1998
Overview
This dissertation details the life of William Henry Drayton, one of South Carolina's most important and influential Revolutionary leaders. He served the American cause in South Carolina in a variety of roles: as the most effective Whig polemicist in the lower South; as a member of all the state's important revolutionary governing bodies; as commander of a frigate of war; as president of the provincial council; as a chief justice; as a privy councilor; as co-author of the state's 1778 constitution; and as a delegate to the Continental Congress. More importantly, this work improves and revises earlier treatments of Drayton by providing new information and insight regarding his childhood, education, family relations, conversion to the patriot cause, view of the American Revolution, political philosophy and ideas on the establishment of a national government.
